In this dish, we've paired a special seasoning straight from Nan's secret spice drawer with a silky cream-based sauce, then followed it up with tender beef mince for a quick meal that looks and smells every bit as good as it tastes. *We’ve replaced the spaghetti in this recipe with fusilli due to local ingredient availability. It’ll be just as delicious, just follow your recipe card!*

Cooking Steps
• Half-fill a large saucepan with water, add a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil over high heat. Cook fusilli, uncovered, until 'al dente', 12 minutes. • Reserve some pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people), then drain and return fusilli to the saucepan.
TIP: 'Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre. Little cooks: Older kids can help add the pasta to the saucepan under adult supervision. Be careful, the water is boiling!
• Meanwhile, grate courgette. • Roughly chop baby leaves. • Finely chop onion (see ingredients) and celery.
• Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook courgette, onion, celery and beef mince, breaking up mince with a spoon, until browned, 6-7 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium, then add cream (see ingredients) and Nan's special seasoning and cook until bubbling, 1 minute. • Add baby leaves, the butter, the cooked fusilli and reserved pasta water and cook until leaves are just wilted, 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide creamy beef and courgette fusilli. • Garnish with chilli flakes (if using). • Children can add the finishing touch by sprinkling the grated parmesan cheese on top. Enjoy!
